Saleen Automotive is celebrating its twenty-fifth year in business by offering the first $100,000 new, nonracing Ford Mustang - the Sterling Edition S302E. The "302" refers to the 5.0-liter V-8's cubic-inch displacement, which was achieved by stroking the Mustang's stock twenty-four valve, 4.6-liter mill. An intercooled, twin-screw supercharger and reinforced internal components help the revised engine produce a mind-blowing 620 hp at an enhanced 6400 rpm and 600 lb-ft of torque at 4400 rpm. Saleen reports a 0-to-60-mph time of less than four seconds - about a second quicker than the 500-hp Ford Shelby GT500. All S302Es will feature a six-speed manual transmission, twenty-inch wheels, and we-mean-business brakes.
All those Benjamins also get you a custom-trimmed interior with nicely done leather and Alcantara seats, a sterling silver (yet tacky) serial-number badge, and a push-button starter. Unique touches on the exterior include beautiful silver paint, carbon-fiber front and rear diffusers, a Gone in 60 Seconds Eleanor-like face, and an aluminum hood.

Still, this Saleen doesn't feel or look like a $100,000 car. Exclusivity is a big part of the equation, though, since only twenty-five S302Es will be built. Buyers also receive a custom leather jacket (probably not Members Only, but it'll do) and a first-class plane ticket to Detroit,-WoW - where they'll tour the factory (where the car was unveiled in January 2008) and dine with a Saleen executive. []Oh WoW ,again : ) for only $100K : )
For the man or woman who has everything, perhaps a six-figure Mustang makes sense. But we can think of a lot of other cars on which we'd rather blow $100 grand.
And, so can Kid `Space...He would get a new Corvette SuperCharged ZR-1 `if he ever had that kind of money : )

And it doesn't look a whole lot different than a regular Mustang... I'd still love to have one though.

I'd take one only if it was free or really cheap, then turn around and sell it or even trade it in for either a ZR1, or maybe an SSC Areo.

This is why the price is so high.

This is exactly what a new company located in Washington USA is about to do. Some might remember that such a journey was tried by Vector in the 1970s.

Back to our company: Called SSC, short for Shelby Super Cars, it is easy to confuse the name with Shelby Automobiles started by the legendary Carol Shelby. SSC is trying hard to trying hard to distinguish itself and it has done so with their latest product, the Aero SC/8T.

Almost two years ago, Mr Shelby began working on a steel space frame and carbon fiber body as a basis for his 250 mph super car. Since then, extensive wind tunnel testing has been complet

 

I think for $100,000 I'd pick the ZR1. My fiance owned an 05 non supercharged Saleen and It wasn't that much better than a regular Mustang GT. The most bang for your buck is def a newer Mustang GT.
